Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

Dean Coulter and Mike Roberts split long ago. There have been recent pics of Coulter on other threads. He has a new partner and lives in Vermont, running some kind of spa.

A lot of them used to end up in Atlanta, working as trainers or whatnot and leaving after a couple years. Lauderdale probably has taken the place of this...Atlanta with a beach. Other guys stay in Weho or SF and blend into regular jobs.

found a blog entry about him. Apparently, after years of sobreity, he overdosed on heroin. Some accounts say he did it as a celebration for being sober so long and misjudged the dosage he took while others say his boyfriend came home from work and found him dead with a Bible in his hand. Extremely sad.

I'm with you!!! I remember a str8 film where he was doing a girl up the ass and he was saying to her: "Yeah, baby, i know how good that feels. Yeah I know!!!" or something like that came right there.

Jerry Butler was hot. I would have loved to see him get sucked off by a dude or fuck one. About 15 years ago or so he wrote his life story and he said he couldn't get it up for a guy. He had a guy offer him money to suck him off and he couldn't get hard. In real life Jerry married the little girl who was the daughter in the ADAMS FAMILY tv show. They have since divorced and I hear he is a cab driver in NYC.

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

I sure wish there was somebody on this forum who was involved with the industry... somebody who could maybe get some of these classic stars together for another film. One final going out.

I'd love to see that. I'd pay to see that.

Old thread, I know. But I brought it back to comment on this, Somebody else said it, but there are a couple reasons why you'll probably never see a movie with them doing a final one-time comeback thing.

1. Many of these guys are now dead, especially the ones from the 70s and 80s.

2. Most of the ones who are still around no longer look anything like the way they did back then, and they probably wouldn't want to get naked in front of a camera now. There are a few exceptions, like Kevin Williams. He still looks good and is still in good shape. Sometimes you find a recent pic of a few of the ones who are still around, and after you see the pic you understand right away why a comeback in porn is not something even they would want to do. (Strange, isn't it, that some really good looking dudes age really well and still look good even when they get older, and others begin to fall apart big time by the time they hit their late 20s). Notwithstanding, not all of them who no longer act in porn are completely out of the adult business. Some of them are still actively escorting. I recently saw one 80s porn star on an escort website offering his services for $500 an hour. A bit outrageous, I thought. But he WAS a pretty famous dude back in the day, and I guess he still has fans out there who will pay that much to get fucked by him.

3. Many were never gay to begin with and were only doing porn gay-for-pay as a way to make money when they were young and had the looks and the body to do it. Quite a few of the really popular 'gay' stars back then fall into this category. Some are now married (to women) and have families, have moved on to entirely different careers, and have put the porn thing behind them. Some even deny that they ever did gay porn.

I agree with the post that described the 80s as the Golden Age of gay porn. The stuff they've been making since the late mid to late 90s just doesn't compare. Those guys from the 70s and 80s were awesome. They may not be around anymore but we're still talking about them. So many fake-ass, shaved, makeup-wearing, over-tattooed clones acting in gay porn now. A few years from now no one will remember any of them.

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

No-one's mentioned some of the hot black guys from those earlier days in the 1980s/90s, though some of their movies have been resurrected on DVD, as per the snap below showing Tory Bell at the front ... I wonder what happened to the likes of him, Daryl Harris, Randy Cochran, T.J. Swan, Joe Simmons, David Watson, and so on.. There was one Ty Jones 'Black Forest Duo' movie, which I think has been reissued on DVD, where he was taking up his ass the most enormous 11-inch dick of Brad Leatherwood ... and he looked like he was loving every inch of it ... So I wonder where all those guys are now ? ...

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

Hank Hightower pretty much retired from porn. He was working at a bar in Long Beach called The Sweetwater. He did not retire because of AIDS, but I do know he was battling an addiction problem. We used to be pretty close friends, but since I moved about 3000 miles away, we usually only say hey on Birthdays or holidays, but he is still around.

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

Yes, the 80's were indeed the golden era of gay porn and among the greatest stars of that day, in my opinion, was beefy Rex Morgan....Hunk, Faces, Therapy,Full Load, Hot
Rods Young and Hung II and possibly others....aka Buck Hayes of Colt Studio fame. There is still lots of photo material of this handsome dude all over the internet and some of his videos and still avalable as well. But he dropped out of the scene entirely. Some say he went to Canada while others insist he still lives...and works....in the greater Los Angeles area. Wish I knew.

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

Alex Wilcox.....great everything. I think he retired from the porn business. He was so damned hot as a perfect top with that gorgeous cock and body....the young, fem, bottoms loved to see Alex coming to service them and get them hot, hot, hot. No one could fuck as well as Alex and his climax was legendary in volume and distance.

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

Someone here said earlier that the old pre-Aids porn films were often far better than what we get today and it seems to be the case that some of them have gained 'classic status' in a curious way ... For example, does anyone remember 'The Bigger They Come' and in particular the scene with the gorgeous Matt Cruise (what happened to him?) where he is shaved all over (great close-ups of his hole being shaved) and fucked (more great close-ups: see caps below) ... Luckily a lot of these old movies (this one dates from 1986-87) have resurfaced on DVD in good quality and are well worth searching out ... Matt Cruise only made one other film, called 'Stroke', in 1990 ... I'll have to try and find that one too ...

The "where are they now" reporters can have it's disadvantages when you're trying to forget your past.

Here's the incredible Eric Manchester. A 1980's icon and gay for pay who always topped. Currently married to a woman and has 3 grown children.

Eric is bi/gay & did NOT always top. I've seen him bottom in Crosswire, Powerline, The Size Counts, Falcon's Splash Shots 2 from 1986. Gay Erotic Video Index states that he also bottoms in The Next Valentino. These were all made in the 80's. Eric never "labeled himself, but he was seen in the early part of the new century in a semi hustlerish part of SF. Rumors on the net also had him returning to porn. Never happened, DAMN.
I've never seen or heard anything about a wife or children. Maybe you are thinking of Chad Knight who was definitely married with children, as well as being 1 of the biggest bottoms ever.

Jack Wrangler passed in late 10 or early 11, of lung cancer. Although gay, jack was married for many year to Margaret Whiting, a popular singer from the 40's/50's & on the NYC cabaret scene. Jack was very much involved in the NY theater scene after leaving porn. I had the pleasure of meeting him in the 80's in NY. A thoroughly nice, friendly & intelligent man.

Things from the net. Dylan Reece went back. to Australia. So too did Sean Young.

Rob Cryson retired to FL. So too did Eric Hanson, who, according to the rumor mill, is into Latino or African American men.

Rumors on the net had Pavel Novotny/Jan Dvorak & a friend being deported from Cuba for acting obnoxiously at the airport.

Re: Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

Someone else made the Steve Regis correction. Did NOT die of AIDS, but a heart attack (I think brought on by some heart defect). He was supposed to have been a great singer and sang professionally.

Also, somebody said that Roger was a bottom. Completely false. I challenge you to tell me the movies where he bottomed. The only one I'm aware of is a Bullet loop where he simulates fucking with Bruno--no actual penetration.

Another fan fave was Kyle Carrington. He did only 2 movies beginning in 1984 ('Tough Competition' and 'Hot Male Mechanics'), but hated doing porn and dropped out of the business in 1986. He moved to Hawaii in 1986 and committed suicide in 1997 after discovering that he was HIV positive.

I have both videos on VHS and it's clear that he wasn't comfortable in the scenes except when he was going 'solo'. He was an incredible masturbater and could mesmerise the view his his 'stick handling'. I strongly feel he would have made more movies had the producers left him to self-pleasure.
